You can ride in the rain I believe.
But then again I'm not terribly knowledgeable on the topic apparently according to a few snowflakes on KB.
But then again I don't always ride around at 170kph all the time like some.
Here's a wee true story for you all.
Back in '78 a young, skinny, 6' ginga rode off the Cook Straight ferry on his recently purchased yellow '77 Honda CJ250 twin in Wellywood. It was pissing down hard from the heavens. He'd had the bike 2 weeks and covered about 60kms on it with a mate who owned an early GT250. He also had done a ton of book reading about motorcycling. That gave him the foresight to wear track pants under his jeans, a few layers of clothing, a scarf and wearing a one piece yellow vinyl rain suite with red and white stripe down the sides and arms. Had a set of quite well insulated vinyl gloves on as well and a yellow open face helmet with visor. Footware was a pair of combat boot with a couple of pair of socks in plastic bread bags.Having not ridden in such conditions with so much traffic, knock off time, on unfamiliar roads he managed to make it to Masterton, pissing down all the way, without much drama at all,.....
Now one day, if you are all good kiddies, I may tell you about the South Island loop I did one weekend in the early '90s on the '76 CB550F leaving from Ohakea.
